HLM-Ex Explosion Proof Die Cast Limit Switches

Product catalog summary
Overview: IDEM's HLM range of heavy-duty die-cast safety limit switches are designed for position sensing in moving applications such as guard doors, conveyors, machine beds, and elevators. They offer a variety of actuator heads and contact types, including slow break and snap action.
Features:
  • Heavy-duty die-cast bodies painted red.
  • Positive opening NC safety contact compliant with EN60947-5-1.
  • High mechanical life expectancy of over 5,000,000 cycles.
  • Standard mounting according to EN50041.
  • Wide selection of actuator heads.
Operation: The switches operate through sliding actuation, causing deflection of plungers, rollers, or levers. It is crucial that the moving object does not completely pass over the switch actuators to prevent damage or reset.
Contact Blocks: These provide positively operated safety contacts compliant with EN60947-5-1, with explosion-proof options available. They are classified under various standards including ISO14119, EN60947-5-1, and UL508.
Technical Specifications:
  • Mechanical reliability: B10d 2.5x106 operations at 100mA load.
  • Safety classification: Up to PLe (ISO13849-1) and SIL3 (EN62061) depending on system architecture.
  • Annual usage: 8 cycles per hour, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
  • Proof test interval: 35 years.
  • MTTFd: 356 years.
  • Positive opening operation NC contacts.
  • Utilization category: AC15 A300 240V 3A.
  • Minimum current: 5V 5mA dc.
  • Thermal current (Ith): 10A.
  • Rated insulation voltage: 300Vac.
  • Rated impulse withstand: 2500Vac.
  • Maximum switching speed: 250mm/sec.
  • Maximum switching frequency: 6,000 operations per hour.
  • Case material: Die-cast metal, painted red.
  • Enclosure protection: IP67.
  • Operating temperature: -25°C to +80°C.
  • Mechanical life expectancy: 5x106 cycles minimum.
  • Electrical life expectancy: 100,000 cycles minimum at full load.
  • Vibration: IEC68-2-6 10-55Hz 0.35mm.
  • Conductor size: 1.5mm2.
  • Fixing: M5 bolts.
Models and Part Numbers: The document lists various models with different actuator types such as short roller lever, roller plunger, pin plunger, spring lever, telescopic spring lever, lever arm, and adjustable roller lever. Each model is available with different contact configurations and explosion-proof options. Gold-plated contacts are available for low power circuits.

HLM-Ex Explosion Proof Die Cast Limit Switches-1

SECTION 24 SAFETY LIMIT SWITCHES Safety Limit Switches Type: HLM (Die-Cast) APPLICATIONS: IDEM’s HLM range of heavy duty Die Cast Safety Limit Switches have been designed to be mounted for position sensing of moving applications e.g. guard doors, conveyors, machine beds and elevators. They are available with an extensive range of actuator heads and can be supplied with either slow break or snap action contacts. Heavy duty die cast bodies (painted red) Positive opening NC safety contact to EN60947-5-1 High mechanical life over 5,000,000 cycles Industry standard mounting to EN50041 Large choice of actuator heads available OPERATION: Operation of IDEM Safety Limit Switches is achieved by a sliding actuation of the moving object to cause deflection of the switch plungers, rollers or levers. For safety applications it is important that the moving object does not pass completely over the switch actuators so as to either cause damage to the actuator or allow it to return to its original position. CONTACT BLOCKS: Contact blocks provide positively operated safety contacts to EN60947-5-1 with optional Explosion Proof versions available. EXPLOSION PROOF MODELS ALSO AVAILABLE.
